Republican leaders and the white house are pushing it, against opposition from conservative critics and powerful lobby groups. Lisa desjardins reports on the days events. This is a good day. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan was soaringly optimistic this morning, defending the g. O. P. Healthcare plan that some conservatives have called it obamacare lite. This is what good conservative Health Care Reform looks like. It is bold and it is long overdue. And it is us fulfilling our promises. Reporter this as two committees started slogging through the bill section by section. As democrats and republicans fought over procedure and amendments. Excuse me, if you would suspend, were going to move to regular order. Reporter if you knew where to look, you could see in the audience signs of the larger battle fully underway. At the energy and commerce committee, we saw representatives of doctors groups, like this woman from the American Academy of family physicians, and of hospitals, like this lawyer whose firm represents several, and of biotech interests companies, including this man from well known company, genentech. Democrats like raul ruiz, who is a doctor himself, are highlighting some of those groups reactions. The American Medical Association came out strongly against this bill this morning. They are the largest organized group in the country. Reporter the a. M. A. Specifically said the bill would result in millions of americans losing coverage and benefits. Another major group, the a. A. R. P. , also is opposed, saying the plan would dramatically increase costs for people between the ages of 50 and 64. But the u. S. Chamber of commerce praised the plan, calling it absolutely critical in restoring health care markets. At the white house, press Secretary Sean Spicer read his own list of supportive groups, and then dismissed the list of doctors and others opposed so far. This isnt about trying to figure out how many special interests in washington we can get paid off. Its about making sure that patients get the best deal, that reporter meantime, multiple analysts have concluded the g. O. P. Bill will leave millions more without health coverage. Spicer responded to that by questioning a main arbiter, the nonpartisan congressional budget office, which has not yet released its estimate. If youre looking at the c. B. O. For accuracy, youre looking in the wrong place. They were way, way off last time, in every aspect of how they scored and projected obamacare. Reporter spicer said the white house will begin a full court press on the bill. That started late this afternoon as President Trump met with conservatives. Republicans in congress are aware that they have critics on the left and within their own camp on the right, but are not yet showing any sweat. This is just the beginning of the process and this is the way legislating takes place. Reporter it is a tedious but important week house committees may take until friday to work through the bill.

Still to come on the newshour a former c. I. A. Director on what the wikileaks documents mean for the agency; women show their economic strength by striking across the nation; how a growing antarctic rift could create one of the biggest icebergs in history, and much more. Woodruff yesterdays Wikileaks Dump of documents was yet another major breach of classified information inside u. S. Intelligence services. Hari sreenivasan picks up our story. Sreenivasan today, the story about Intelligence Leaks advanced on multiple fronts. Reuters reported intelligence officials have known about the Security Breach since last year, and are focused on contractors as the likeliest source of the leak. And, White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer said President Trump is extremely concerned about the breach. For more on all of this, we turn to leon panetta. He served as c. I. A. Director and defense secretary during the Obama Administration. Mr. Panetta, first, whats happening in the c. I. A. Right now . If its a mole, how do they find him, if its an inside job, him or her . Ear if its from the outside, how do we figure out where we were hacked . Well, i think the more important issue is going to be how do you replies those important tools that will have now been made public and try to reestablish our intelligence capability so we can gather the information that is absolutely essential in order to protect our country. This has been seriously damaging to the c. I. A. And its ability to conduct intelligence operations. So i would imagine the first focus is on what do we do to try to replace our ability to go after terrorists . Sreenivasan , you know, we had Chelsea Manning from the army. We had Edward Snowden and Harold Martin from the flrk n. S. A. Werent there reforms taken after these things . Why didnt they work . You know, im sure there were steps taken to try to make sure that this would not happen, but we are, clearly, living in a world in which the ability to hack has developed to a point where i happen to think that, that probably anything is vulnerable today. So i think you try to take steps to try to protect that kind of sensitive information, try to do what you can to make sure that those who are working for you are taking steps to protect it, contractors are taking steps to protect it. But the bottom line is that in todays world, i think you always have to be prepared that somebody may very well be able to get access to that kind of information. And if they do, that they will make it public. I think thats the world we live in right now. Sreenivasan you know, i think it caught a lot of people by surprise that the c. I. A. Has such an extensive hacking operation. Dont we have the n. S. A. For that . Why is the c. I. A. Doing this . Well, the c. I. A. Does it for intelligence gathering purposes abroad. Its not done here in the United States. Its done abroad. And for that reason, the c. I. A. Has to develop the capabilities that it has developed in order to be able to track those that are known suspects of terrorism. You know, we went through 9 11. There was a National Commission that was established to find out why we were attacked on 9 11. And the result of that is that the c. I. A. And other inlligence agencies develop better capabilityes and to go after terrorists and to try to locate them. There is a reason we have not had another 9 11 attack in this country, and a lot of that is because our intelligence agencies, our Law Enforcement agencies have sharing information and gathering information that makes sure we protect the United States. Sreenivasan speak of sharing information, back in 2010, when you were still c. I. A. Director, the Obama Administration said they would share zeroday vulnerabilities, those hacks that are core in pieces of software, like in an apple iphone or an android operating system with the technology companies. But here, we have evidence that the c. I. A. Has hoarded a lot of those zeroday vulnerabilities and really violated that trust. Well, i have to tell you, at least in my time as director of the c. I. A. , that we had a very Good Relationship with Silicon Valley and with hightech companies, and, you know, we had a cooperative relationship. Obviously, they have their interests, and we respect that. They are dealing with privacy issues, and we respect that as well. But in the end, all of us are concerned about being able to ensure that we are able to go after terrorists, that were able to detect when they are planning attacks on this country and elsewhere, and that we are able to take steps to protect this country. And i think what we have to do is make sure that we get back to that kind of cooperative relationship. Sreenivasan the thing that has a lot of people concerned is when you keep these zeroday vulnerabilities to yourself and you dont tell apple or you dont tell google, or you dont tell microsoft, hey, theres a hole in your software, that means identity thieves and others could be using this. I think theres general discomfort, to put it mildly, with consumers who say, wait a minute, i thought that my product was safe, but here i dont necessarily know whether its even my governments look out for my best interests. Well, again, i think the fundamental issue thats involved here is whether or not we want our intelligence agencies and our Law Enforcement agencies to be able to protect our country. And i know that there are theres often this debate about are we going to be able to protect our security and our freedoms at the same time . I believe we can. I dont think we have to make a choice on that. The reality is that what the c. I. A. Has done in terms of its capabilities and what it is able to do is done pursuant to the law and is done pursuant to oversight by the congress and by the intelligence committees will on the hill. They are fully aware of what capabilities the c. I. A. Has, and that is the way we try to protect our freedoms at the same time. Sreenivasan former defense secretary and former head of the c. I. A. , among many other things, leon panetta, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. Woodruff at least 13 protestors were arrested in new york city today, as strikes and rallies unfolded across the globe in the name of women. International womens day became a day without women in some american cities. Thousands stayed away from work and took to the streets partly to demonstrate contributions that women make to the economy. Woodruff in washington, a march to the white house targeted the reinstatement of the socalled global gag rule. It denies foreign aid to groups that provide abortions or related services. This is about denying Health Providers from providing healthcare just information about womens options and choices woodruff overall, the marches were smaller than the one million or so who turned out after President Trumps inauguration, but leading women in congress appeared outside the capitol dressed in red, the color associated with the Labor Movement and todays strike. California democrat barbara lee pushed back against criticism that only privileged women could afford to stay home. We also recognize that there are millions of women are unable to walk out because they might get fired, or cannot afford to lose their meager incomes. So we walked out for them, too. Woodruff teachers at the washington rally said much the same as the strike forced some School Systems to close, leaving families to find lastminute child care. I think theres power in numbers. And i happen to work for a School District that had to close yesterday because we took leave. So i think that if we keep fighting for stuff like this and stand our ground, then change can come. Woodruff later, another crowd rallied at the department of labor, calling for pay equity and other rights, at a time when american women earn 80 cents for every dollar a man makes. President trump tweeted a general statement of support this morning. I have tremendous respect for women he said and the many roles they serve that are vital to the fabric of our society and our economy. And, First Lady Melania Trump and the president s daughter ivanka hosted a small white house luncheon in honor of the day. Meanwhile, protests played out internationally, from mexico city, to istanbul, turkey. For more on the Womens Movements, and what todays events represent, we turn to farida jalalzai, autho
